This bothers me so much. I'm that guy who washes my containers and checks with the city to see what can and can't be recycled. But I live in an apartment building and when I take my recycling to the bin, it's invariably filled with half full takeout containers and a million other things that can't be recycled. They probably throw the whole bin in the landfill. It's infuriating.

This is really the problem with our massive, incredibly non-dense city (as with every other north american city). We can create these pedestrian friendly pockets, but it's still not going to eliminate people's need for a car. So it becomes "drive and park at this place where you don't need a car", which is a little ironic. Still way better than nothing, and I'm all for it, but we need to simultaneously be addressing our zoning and transportation plans if we want to actually get serious about this.
Cars, rare wine, art, watches. The rich are only going to get richer.
